Highly doubt it

I think a 'scare' by Troy may have been enough, but it is what it is. We lost. Can't change it. I'm just glad they decided to show back up and compete like LSU players should.

You don't have that chance in a college football season.

Losing once usually means you're out the hunt , much less losing to OOC cupcakes for homecoming.

Their are 12 regular season games and you learn things in losses , but in no way was losing to Troy a good thing.

LSU has enough talent to have beaten Troy....State....Florida....and Auburn.

The whole premise of trading a humiliating loss for victories we should have anyway , is not a solid premise.

Losing to Troy was not a neccesity in beating a bad Florida team and Auburn at home.

It's called spin.

if LSU beats Ole Miss this weekend, they couldawouldashoulda been undefeated heading into the Alabama game

We should never lose to Miss State or Troy, but whatever you can think of to set your mind at ease I guess.....

Explain to me why it would be necessary to lose to Troy , to beat Florida and Auburn? 

If you accept this premise as some sort of twisted "good thing", then for all intents and purposes you have written off championship level football at LSU . 

Coaches must have their teams prepped and ready to win every week. Period. There are a myriad of reasons for losing certain games , but none qualify as a prerequisite to winning future games. 

This team shoulda beat State , Troy , Florida and Auburn. 
Period.

I get what you are saying but this team just now figured out who they are. I don't see a let down game from them. I really think it only gets better from here. They should beat Ole Miss and give Bama a better game than most think. Bama is just on another level to think that this many freshmen can hang for 4 quarters with our depth but it will be a good barometer of years to come assuming O can recruit.

I understand if you don't get it. No worries

according to this “logic “ Bama is really fricking up by kicking arse every game!

The fact that you think that LSU and Bama are even remotely in the same boat is hilarious. You're comparing apples and oranges.

LSU is a team that was trying to find its identity after replacing a bunch of NFL guys and trying to play a new style of offense.

Bama on the other hand is a well oiled machine.

To think that a program like LSU, Florida, or Auburn can get to Bama's level without a few bumps in the road is hilarious.

The team that looks closest to Bama at the moment is UGA. Last season they went 7-5 and lost to Vandy. They took their lumps and learned from their mistakes and have come out stronger because of it.

Hell Saban went 6-6 in year 1 with a loss to ULM. They went through rough seas, now they are skilled sailors.

I can definitely agree with that sentiment. The State game should have been the wake up call. We shouldn't have been licking our wounds 2 weeks later but unfortunately, we were

Edit: i would like to mention that I think that our team thought they were much better than they really were and that the loss to MSU was an incredible shock to them. It was really hard to stomach as a fan so I can't imagine how hard it was to take in as a player.

Do I wish they would have fixed their flaws without 2 embarrassing losses? Of course. But you can't change the past and I'm proud that they showed that they have some fight in them. Both losses were catastrophic failures for the coaching staff and the players but at the moment it looks like they are better off because of it.
